Together Retro: Golden Axe Warrior

[Stark]

Just started up with a DS emulator.

beat Dungeon 5. Actually a lot easier than 4 (for me).

[noiseredux]

so I NEED to upgrade my magic before Dungeon 6? Cuz raising money sucks.

EDIT: one thing that's kind of fun for me is I printed the maps, and I'm notating things on them for myself. I don't know. Reminds me a bit of playing old Zelda games with Nintendo Power or something haha.

Little late to this one but I decided this year I would finally participate in TR. I went out today and grabbed the PS3 comp and put in a little time, just beat the first dungeon. This game is hard, save states are keeping me sane, but the controls are getting to me. I am thinking about trying my Fight stick and see if that makes it any better.

So far I am not a fan of the aimless wondering hoping to stumble upon something, but I am trying to push on.

1) use a FAQ
2) the controls don't feel as bad once you have better weapons and some armor. But for a while yr gonna feel like a punching bag. Just walk it off.

so I tried my fight stick with the gate set to 4 way and it was much better. I was up in the north and loaded the wrong save and messed up some of my progress. Done with this one for the night.

Unrelated note, the ps3 collection is a very good value, tons of games, cheap price. I only paid $11 for it.

edit: just looked at the map linked earlier, holy crap this world is huge! I thought I had found the edges of the map but wasnt even close!

Whee, I haven't even unlocked or started it yet and Dave is done.

How do you use magic? Or do you not have any spells to begin with?

you have to find the magic scrolls first. THere's only 4 in the whole game.

@Hobie: no worries. I'm only half-way through myself.

Finally got to sit down with it this morning. I just beat the second dungeon which took me like two hours to find tucked away in the woods. By the time I got there I had long since obtained the Knight Shield, thunder magic, and a heart, but I love losing myself in a wandering adventure like this. I haven't been using a map or faq or save states or anything since for me the game is more enjoyable without them. It's so satisfying when you stumble upon a secret or clue. It's actually really relaxing to just lose myself in the world as I meander about smacking things with an axe.
